Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav too is a bit perplexed with the changed face of Mayawati. Sources close to Akhilesh say that in the past one month, he had spoken over the phone to Behenji as many as four times, and the talks were cordial and fruitful, and yet, she does not seem to find any time to meet Akhilesh. It is known that not long ago, Akhilesh and Mayawati had jointly decided to select one district in the state to hold a massive joint public rally to gather some 5-6 lakh people to make a grand entrée into the 2019 elections. But now in this changed attitude of Behenji, Akhilesh does not know what to do. His plan to ride the ‘elephant’ seems to have gone awry.
